It’s not great, but jokes like that have been a part of George Lopez act as long as he’s been doing comedy. But as you said, a Mexican guy making jokes about stereotypes of his own people is worlds different than a bunch of white people getting on stage and making jokes about racial stereotypes of every race except whites.
But he is pitching a joke to a predominantly white crowd, how does it make any difference?
 
Black stand-up is full of black comedians poking fun at black people. Same for Mexican stand-up; it’s actually a major component of George Lopez’s act. A white comedian making fun of Mexicans or black people doesn’t go over well and will often just sound racist.

Jesusasaurus can’t parse this simple nuance because he believes dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
Your logic doesn't work because the audience of that joke being made by the Mexican was predominantly white so it's a "racist" joke made to entertain white people.

Again, I don't expect an American sucking off a fascist nation like Ukraine in their bio to understand much.
 
Now i actually have no time for Trump but in what is supposed to be a current affairs forum, i think people should be allowed to have pro Trump views without being subjected to belittlement and harassment.

The current affairs forum here has the potential to be a place for intelligent and respectful debate, instead it's been hijacked by a cohort of far left nutters who have no time for an alternative viewpoint, and who wish to forcibly ram their opinions down peoples throats.

GOT in general is a brilliant online community, but it's current affairs forum is mainly inhabited by some seriously deranged and deluded individuals imo.

Spot on, if you examine certain threads and certain posters activity on those threads, it becomes alarming, most disturbing one I saw was one poster with over 4,000 posts out of around 38,000 on the thread in total.

That's an obsessive level of activity on just one thread - it rounds out at about 4.2 posts on average per day for nearly three years straight.

Needless to say that thread has zero respectful debate allowed.

Found it funny half the reactions basically are people telling you to go 'f' yourself for essentially posting a balanced post analysing the CA forum.
 
And we got people on this forum still playing both sidesism and “Kamala just needs to articulate her positions better” and “Walz is too folksy”

People who have NO IDEA what it’s like here

You people are still trying to look at this election through the lens of logic

Then try saying and explaining what it's like then?

My main issue with being able to take the Trump is the new Hitler and Kamala is amazing seriously is the following.

I have eyes and ears, and Harris is in no way impressive, this is a party that had Kennedy (both) and she sat there serving a guy with dementia insisting he was currently the sharpest mind she knew, and the best person for the job right the way through. So one she's either lied consistently about the state of his mental capacity or two she genuinely believes that - both massive red flags as to her.

Trump being the new Hitler, it falls down badly on one very important factor, he's been the president before, I didn't witness any fascist policies, in fact nothing of the scaremongering about what he'd do from the first time came to pass.

So again, as an outside observer not personally invested in the USA, what exactly is it like, and why is trump the devil and Harris the only hope?

I'm half expecting a middle finger response rather than any attempt to explain.
 
Could also be attributed to his inflammatory flag waving of a brutal genocide, a provocative action that is understandably met with anger if without explanation

AHH see what you mean about his bio pic, that's one of two subjects I simply won't get into on here anymore, there's very little room for debate on the matter and with personal connections with both subjects myself anything said just gets shouted down by the mob (a very good friend lives about 20 km away from the evacuated zone on the Lebanese border and its well known i live in Russia).

So just best to stay clear of both subjects.
